Who is paying his way in the present?
Did he have tenure at Oxford in the 18th century?
Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

Oooh! Certainly someone at Oxford acknowledges him, and he may be assuming his room and board is some version of military support, and Abbie has had other things on her mind, and someone (else) mysterious is covering his bills and everyone thinks somebody else has taken care of it!

He did look to be covered in salt or something similar when he first woke up. If Katrina's spell can keep someone in a state of stasis for 230 years, I have no problem with it similarly preserving his clothing.

I vote Jilli guest stars as Ichabod's personal stylist to find him some slightly fresher period-appropriate clothing.
OKAY I LIKE THIS IDEA.

It's very convenient.
As long as the ponytail stays, I won't complain. Although I would be okay with more shirtlessness, too.

Does he have clean underwear? Shouldn't we have a scene of his trying to figure out modern underwear?
The ponytail or queue is much more period appropriate than the scenes with his hair loose.
